Regulation of PKD by the MAPK p38δ in Insulin Secretion and Glucose Homeostasis
(2009)CellDysfunction and loss of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells represent hallmarks of diabetes mellitus. Here, we show that mice lacking the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38δ display improved glucose tolerance due to enhanced insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells. Deletion of p38δ results in pronounced activation of protein kinase D (PKD), the latter of which we have identified as a pivotal regulator of stimulated insulin ...Journal Article
